You may be using the word "interval" differently than its usual use in thesci.math newsgroup. In most posts here, an "interval" is a contiguous segment of the real number line. The domain of a function often is someunion of intervals (but of course can be any defined set). See<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_of_a_function> if you aren't familiarwith function terminology.
